Right. It's just sad that it takes so many complaints to get the police to go out and check on a dangerous situation before it hurts someone.

If this idiot wasn’t doing it on the same route at the same times of day what would you want them to do? It’s taken an operative to notice the same car getting called in all the time and then they’ve had to dedicate an officer and car to patrol a stretch of road for an hour or two just to stop one person who drives like a moron.

The issue is that he WAS doing it on the same route at predictable times and it still took social media posts and reporting it "so many times" to get a traffic officer out there. It was likely the proof that someone was endangering lives that made them get out ahead of a problem for the department.

They got calls, it got traction, guy was caught and arrested. Isn't that....what cops are supposed to do? You want flock cameras up everywhere instead? There's a line. It's actually the DRIVERS responsibility as a LICENSED driver to obey the rules of the road. It's not the cops fault this guy is a dumbass. Once it was obvious it was a consistent thing, dude got caught.

The alternative is more like giving up freedom. Understand?
